Re: storing and recovering settings

[Antonio Gomes <tonikitoo gmail com>]

Hi Oskar,

why don't you try to write/read these settings in a "pref file". You
can use the glib and standard C functions to handle the desired data,
defining a format to work in the file, reading and writing them as you
want ... usually, applications create a hide file in the "~/"
directory  (if you are using a unix-based system), and file into it
...

Thus, before you create the "default" application, you could read the
data from this file, store them in a struct and setting up the
application, as previously.

I hope it help you !
